Baby Name Help!!!!

Hello,
My partner and I just can't decide on a name for our baby boy.
We already have a daughter called Amelia so we'd like something that flows nicely with that.
We have four names in the running and we'd like to know which you think is best.
The four names are:-

Arthur
Alfie (not sure with this whether to have Alfred or Alfie)
Stanley
Henry

Thank you in advance for any help.

I like Henry out of them the others sound a bit so so. But as someone else said I’m not English so they would definitely not be popular in my neck of the woods.

I love Stanley. I think Arthur or Alfie would be too matchy matchy with Amelia and there are literally a billion boys called Henry.

Amelia and Henry is best IMO

Henry goes really nicely with Amelia.

Arthur - ok, popular
Alfie - not keen but if you pick it put Alfred on the BC
Stanley - ok, but will be Stan
Henry - ok, probably the best of the bunch

I'm not keen on any of them, but I'm not English and I do like the welsh pronunciation of Arthur.

Those are all nice names. Henry goes best with Amelia for me, also love Stanley but I’m not sure it goes as well. Alfie is nice but I personally prefer it as a nn for Alfred.

They are all lovely.

Henry is my favourite and the one I think goes best with Amelia. I like Stanley also but think it goes less well with Amelia for some reason.

Like them all apart from Arthur
